It's easy to understand why people call it a Minnesota "Concealed Carry" permit. That's what the newspapers and the
TV stations call it. It was even the name of the grassroots organization that helped get the shall-issue carry law
passed: Concealed Carry Reform, NOW! (CCRN), now known as the Minnesota
Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance (GOCRA).

But remember, it's perfectly legal to openly carry a gun in Minnesota, after you get your Carry Permit.

* That doesn't mean that you shouldn't conceal your gun when carrying. Under most circumstances, it's a
lot easier and simpler to do so.
